Riding a Motorcycle is an enjoyable way to get around town and is a great method of transportation when you are hoping to enjoy good weather during the summer.

Common Injuries From Motorcycle Accidents

Without a frame around the passengers, most, if not all, of the impact of an accident is transferred directly to the rider, who will then experience a second impact as they are thrown from the motorcycle and hit the ground.

For this reason, an accident at low speeds that would otherwise be a minor fender bender between two passenger vehicles can be catastrophic for someone on a Motorcycle. Proper Motorcycle gear can greatly mitigate the severity of the injuries incurred, but even these products often provide inferior protection.  

While we are here to help after a Motorcycle Accident, investing in good riding gear is important to prevent some of the injuries that may otherwise occur as a result of such incidents.

Road Rash

Road rash is a serious type of abrasion that a motorcyclist can get when they are thrown from a Motorcycle and their body slides on pavement or dirt.

It is important for motorcycle riders to wear proper protective clothing, such as leather jackets, heavy pants, gloves, boots, and a full-face helmet, in order to avoid or minimize the damage that they will suffer from this type of injury.

Road rash can cause serious and permanent scarring and may require skin grafting if the abrasions are bad enough that the skin will not regenerate on its own.

Fractures and Broken Bones

Some of the most common Motorcycle Accident Injuries are broken bones and fractures. This could happen from the initial impact when another vehicle makes direct contact with either the motorcycle or the rider or the secondary impact when the rider is thrown to the ground.

Even at low speeds, a rider may be thrown from a motorcycle and put their arms or legs out at an awkward angle, hitting the ground and suffering a break. There are many different ways that these injuries can be sustained in a Motorcycle Accident.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

Helmets are extremely important for motorcycle safety, even though Pennsylvania law does not mandate helmets for riders over the age of 21 with either 2 years of experience or who have completed a Motorcycle safety course approved by PennDOT.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyers work with many victims of traumatic brain injuries, and our team strongly recommends wearing a helmet at all times. Otherwise, you are at an increased risk of serious concussions, skull fractures, epidural or subdural hematomas, brain contusions, and many other serious and sometimes life-threatening injuries to the brain. 

Calculating Damages For Motorcycle Accident Personal Injury Cases

Like all Personal Injury cases, Motorcycle Accident Damages are calculated by first separating the damages into economic and non-economic categories.

Economic damages are intended to Seek Compensation for actual financial losses and expenses resulting from the accident, such as all associated medical expenses, as well as lost wages due to missed work or a diminished earning capacity due to the injuries sustained.

In some cases, a Motorcycle Accident Claim could even include long-term Disability.

Non-economic damages are intended to compensate the victim for the impacts of their accident that do not have set dollar values appended to them, such as the actual pain and suffering that they have endured during the Accident, as a result of their Injuries, and during their recovery. They can also include things like fear, depression, emotional anguish, and other very real effects of an accident that do not come with a receipt or an invoice.
